Dear Parents, Guardians, Friends and Families, 

Thank you for taking the time to visit St Edward's JustGiving page for Asylum Welcome, our Steeplechase Partners. 

The Steeplechase, first officially run in 1927 and taking place on the first leave weekend of the autumn term, is a whole School event in which hundreds of Teddies pupils take to the courses around School and Port Meadow. It is always a lively affair with House spirit and good-natured rivalry on display in abundance.

For the first time in Teddies history, the Steeplechase will be a sponsored event! Please donate in sponsorship of your son or daughter - all funds raised will go directly to Asylum Welcome, who are working with over one hundred and fifty recent Afghan arrivals to Oxford, and so desperately need our support.

Thank you. 

"Asylum Welcome stood up for me when I didn't think I had a voice."

"Asylum Welcome has made me feel more confident, more safe, secure and more independent."

“Thank you for treating me like a human being and a member of the community of Oxford. I feel safe.”

“I don't have any family here so this is like my family.”
